Looking for a Doctor in Michigan

[TorturedSoul]

Between the lack of (widely-available through normal medical channels) information and downright misinformation, in a way I don't blame a lot of the doctors who are hesitant.

After all, I would hesitate to place my health in the hands of a doctor who'd recommend something that he/she knew nothing about.

That's why it's important to take any scientific data - and even patient's experiences/testimonials - to your local doctor. And hope that said doctor actually reads it.

Now, a doctor that refuses to recommend MMJ because he/she is prejudiced against it or because they are in the pocket of the big drug companies is a different thing all together.

Well i read that the best way to get yourself an appointment at the michigan clinic is to either fax them your medical records and doctor notes or mail them which i did priority mail.

My nerve damage is getting worse every day and i find myself smoking /vaporizing more frequently to aleve the pain and i dont want to go to jail for self medicating myself.

I was diagnosed with thorasic neurapapathy my spine is closing in on my nerve rope thus making my nerves think that my body has fell into a bonfire sending flaming burning sensations through all my limbs.

yeah that sucks man, im sorry to hear that. i have scoliosis and basically it makes my lower back fell like a rock and at times is so bad i cant stand up fully. a few somas fix that but id much rather have some MMJ to take care of the issue.

Yeh even with the marijuana i still have to take a 750 mg vic*don twice a day my hospitals top neurosurgeon told me flat out that even if i were his brother he wouldnt do a precedure on my spine he said my spines still 70% healthy whoopeee!

any word on other doctors in Michigan? I've called THCF at least 10 times and not got a single call back. i think i'll try and see if i can send the medical records via mail and fax and see if that helps. is $180 their standard rate? i saw someone post that price in this thread but I'm not sure if that was their deductible or something.

Thanks!

I did the exact same thing called with no response then i found out first you have to fax them your medical records and then you will recieve a call to pay by credit card over the phone ($170 saved $30 by paying up front ) and my appointment was the following thursday saw Dr Eisenbud he looked over my records and gave me the recomendation a month later my cards came in the mail.

I went to my regular Dr. today, and she told me the only Dr. she knew of that was doing it is in Plainwell, MI. She didn't have a name and # for me, but she said he advertises in the paper. I plan to keep looking, but if you locate him before I do please send me the info. I'll do the same.
